- Experience shipping high-volume consumer products, including manufacturing support in Asia.
- Highly proficient with 3D modeling (e.g. Solidworks, NX, Creo).
- Experience with high-volume manufacturing processes, design for manufacturability and assembly (DFM/DFA), tolerance analysis, functional dimensioning and geometric tolerancing (GD&T).
